Speciei interpres: Babington. 
Turiones longi, prostrati, obtusanguli, virides vel liunini expositi rul'escenles, cum pi'liolis ])arce 
j)ilosi, et aculeolis giandulisque breviter stipitatis crebris exasperati. Aculei médiocres vel parvuli, ad 
angulos dispositi, subaecjuales, infernc dilatati, parum reclinati, in petiolis non adunci. Folia ternata 
vel in caulibus robustis nonnulla subcpiinata vol ({uinata; slipulae lineares; i'oliola membranacea, convexa, 
inaequaliter sed non profunde serrata, supra opaca, strigoso-pilosa, sublus, praecipue in nervis, pubes- 
centia, pallidiora; terminale e basi saepe emarginatâ obovalum vel obovato-oblongum, petiolulo triplo 
vel quadruplo longius. 
Inflorescentia in ramis caulium superioribus mediocribus subracemosa, angusta, in robustioribus 
elongata, parum decrescens, e ramulis inferioribus axillaribus stride ascendentibus racemigeris et 
reliquis patenlibus brevibus unifloris vel paucii'loris composita. Haud I'aro caules e rhizomate orti 
primo anno in int'lorescenliam amplam loliosam compositam pyramidalem abeunles occurrunt. Rliachis 
cum ramulis pedunculisque cinereo-tomentoso-hirla, glandulis stipitatis confertis, setis glanduliferis 
sparsis vel raris et aculeis acicularibus vulgo sat crebris instructa. Flores médiocres parum conspicui; 
sepala externe cano-virentia, saepe longe caudata, in flore laxe reflexa, deinde fructus fundum am- 
plectentia, in fructu maturo patula; petala anguste oblonga, pubescentia, alba; stamina stylos 
superantia. Carpella puberida mox glabrescentia. Fructus magni, sapidi. — Inflorescentiae ramuli non 
cymuligcri. 
In Waldungen und an Waldrändern, vorzüglich im Hügellande. Zerstreut durch das südwestliche

Turiones pruinosi, parcius glandulosi quam in R. longilhyrsigero; folia majora, foliota tenuia, 
ad basin profunde emarginatâ; inflorescentia brevior, sed ramulis patentibus longioribus dilatata; flores 
majores, spectabiles. Habitu a R. longilhyrsigero differt.
